Can’t Hurt Me

 I’ve got to get myself back on track. I’m not outputting as much as I need to be. In fact I am behind by quite a bit. I’ve got to push myself hard. And I’ve got to stop procrastinating, it’s practically killing my Kung Fu. I’ve got to stop the mediocrity from taking control of my choices and push it away.  It’s nearly a mental chess game for all of us. We do this and that, than our body says “no” by being sore or sick. We all want to accomplish great things from this. But for all of us, we encounter something that we must deal with and overcome the entire time we are in pursuit of our goals. For me it’s my procrastination. I love to sit around and just relax with the TV on. But that isn’t mastery, I might need to relax in the future after I’ve done my training and completed my numbers. That’s when I can relax. And I fail to recognize how critical that choice is, train and improve myself or relax and be comfortable? I’ve got a ways to go, I’ll get there though.  Numbers: ...

 For the entirety of May I was on a dark underground journey with myself. I analyzed everything about myself, where I am, and what I want to become. It got dark. Not going to get into specifics but it was a lot of talk with myself in a mirror or my car or to myself throughout the day. To keep it appropriate I kept telling myself “you need to win Owen. Because you have no other choice.” I feel we all have taken ourselves to this level before. It definitely made me more aware of the consequences when I don’t do something I need to do. I am comfortable where I am right now, but comfort kills progression. And without progression, we don’t get better.  Numbers: P/U: 13765 S/U: 12047 Forms: 125/113 Sparring: 16 AoK: 268 Mileage: 378.93km
